Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 174: Invasion of the Dead Leech
After doing a very long search even had to overcome the annoying bandits, all paid off with the results obtained.
The seven-colored fire lotus, now this herbal plant was plastered markedly in his view.
Zhou Fan approached the pond and slowly went into the water. It is very strange about the existence of this pond that is in the middle of the desert.
But Zhou Fan was not too concerned about this matter because there were still many things beyond reason, the world was too vast for such a question.
Walking feet brought Zhou Fan to his destination, but once the distance was only a few steps left, the water temperature increased and Zhou Fan spontaneously came out of the pool.
"Young master!" Ciu San was a little worried, thinking there was poison in the pond.
Zhou Fan raised his hand, a sign that he was fine. However, his eyes looked at the unusual state of the pond.
It turned out that the hot aura was all centered on the seven-colored fire lotus petals, as it was too strong to absorb the hot aura causing the surrounding area to become cold and moist.
Hem...
"If I take it directly, I'm afraid it will damage the quality of the seven-colored fire lotus. If that were to happen then this trip would be a waste." Zhou Fan was grinning his chin while looking at the surface of the water.
The seven-colored fire lotus was only a few steps away, but the problem was how to take the seven-colored fire lotus without affecting the temperature of the water in the pond.
"Young master, what if you put him in a bucket? With the help of fire-type beast crystals it might be able to maintain the water temperature and preserve the nutrients for the seven-colored fire lotus."
Hearing Zhi Long's suggestion, Zhou Fan muttered. "It can be tried, we won't know until we try."
Zhou Fan swung his hand, taking out one large-sized bucket. He then filled the bucket with pond water, inserted the fire-type beast crystal and took out the seven-colored fire lotus carefully.
The struggle was quite troublesome, even having to raise the temperature of his hand when he was about to take out the seven-colored fire lotus.
After placing it in the bucket, the seven-colored fire lotus did not undergo any change. A smile shows satisfaction.
But not for long, the seven-colored fire lotus began to show a change. Especially from the color of the petals that are fading.
Zhou Fan quickly took out a fire-type beast crystal, putting it in a bucket.
Instantly the seven-colored fire lotus returned to its original state. However, it did not last long and returned to dim the light.
Zhou Fan took out several fire-type beast crystals, putting them one by one.
This went on for quite some time and had already consumed dozens of fire-type beast crystals.
Ciu San who was looking frowned, slowly approached and grabbed a jade bottle that was beside where Zhou Fan was standing. It belonged to Zhou Fan, falling out of the pocket of the robe.
To return, the bottle falls into the bucket.
Zhou Fan's face froze, staring at Ciu San with annoyance. But at a glance he saw, the seven-colored fire lotus did not undergo any change. Keep shining like it was.
Eyes turned to the jade bottle that fell into the bucket, grabbing it and examining it. "Spiritual water?" Zhou Fan looked at Ciu San.
"Without accidentally falling out of your pocket young master," replied Ciu San hesitantly.
Not angry or upset, Zhou Fan smiled happily. "It's good, you've solved this problem." While patting Ciu San's shoulder, he took out a barrel filled with spiritual water.
Zhou Fan threw away the water in the bucket, then replaced it with spiritual water. He did not put the seven-colored fire lotus into the barrel because it was too narrow, unlike the bucket which had a wider size.
The seven-colored fire lotus no longer underwent any changes, completely not withering like before.
Zhou Fan only knew spiritual water could maintain temperature, providing a flow of heat energy to keep the seven-colored fire lotus still in possession of a food supply.
"Young man, look at this!" Zhi Long crouched his back to Zhou Fan, looking as if he was observing something.
The curious Zhou Fan approached, of course after storing the seven-colored fire lotus.
Zhi Long raised a plant, like ginseng but blue in color. Zhou Fan who felt familiar instantly lowered his body. "Ice ginseng!"
Hearing Zhou Fan's name, Zhi Long seemed to remember something. "You're right young master, ice ginseng. I almost don't remember the name of this plant."
"This is the main ingredient for making nine-level and above moon pills." Zhou Fan stood up then turned around and encountered some herbs that were around.
Truly lucky, they found a place filled with precious treasures. Not only was the fire lotus seven colors, but also other herbs that as a whole were rare resources.
After spending so long inside, they came out feeling satisfied. However, it instantly changed when it heard the approaching sound.
Zhi Long circulated his hearing, the sealed room making hearing twice as reliable.
"Young master, from above!" Zhi Long pointed upwards, while Zhou Fan instantly lit a fire and pointed it upwards.
Uh...
Hundreds of even undead leeches moved closer to where they were.
One leech fell, Ciu San retreated one step and flicked the axe to behead the fallen undead leech. But what he did made matters worse, each separate part of the leech forming a new, smaller individual.
"Is there no way to exterminate undead leeches?" Ciu San felt amused, very out of proportion to his large body size.
"The undead leech is also known as the bringer of death. Even in the past if there was a herd like this attacking a village, it was certain that the village would become a dead village." Zhi Long told me.
Hem...
Despite acknowledging what Zhi Long said, Zhou Fan did not believe the undead leech could be overcome. Every living thing has a weakness, it's just whether the deficiency can be found or not.
Srat...
The sword slashed and smashed the undead leech into small fragments, but still it formed a new individual and again moved closer.
"If it's as good as meat, it might be good to burn it. But seeing their appearance, made my stomach uncomfortable." Ciu San held onto the stomach with a strange expression.
Zhou Fan's eyes narrowed. "That's it!" Without saying much he took out a sword, burning a flock of undead leeches.
Leeches fell from above, but none of them showed any sign of burning.
"Young master, if we can avoid adult undead leeches, it might be out of here." Zhi Long glanced with a doubtful look, he could see clearly that there were dozens of large sized leeches residing within the herd.
Zhou Fan also knew about it, it was not easy to get out of the cave, but at any rate he had to get out.
